Prognosis and Decision Making in Severe Stroke
JAMA 294:725-733, Holloway,R.G.,et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Although prognosis among mechanically ventilated stroke patients is generally poor, a minority do survive without severe disability. Prognosis can be assessed according to clinical presentation and patient characteristics. There is an urgent need to better understand the marked variation in the care of these patients and to reliably measure and improve the patient-centeredness of such decisions.
